SPRING STATEMENT: “Government revealing itself to be a Robin Hood in reverse”, campaigners say

Date: 26 March 2025
Campaigns: General

Responding to today’s Spring Statement, Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now said:

Today, the Chancellor refused to levy a tax on the wealth of the richest to avoid catastrophic cuts. Meanwhile we have a Prime Minister who stands ready to slash taxes on Big Tech billionaires to appease Trump. This government is revealing itself to be a Robin Hood in reverse, with Reeves and Starmer paving a path for deepening inequality and division. There is an alternative, but to deliver it our leaders need to find a backbone and stand up to the wealthy elite and Donald Trump.”
